Hi Linnie2, I've never purchased from that vendor, but I think we discussed them before.... their items look like Grade A but it is never a positive when just going by photos. Do you know your size for sure? The grain looks good on one side, but more coarse on the other...as the vendor pointed out. I would see if they are open to offers before purchasing and to make sure they are open to returns outside of the return period if you have testing done and it is determined that any treatments beyond waxing had been done.

Thanks for your replies : )


Junkepo, about my size. I think 54 - 55mm should be ok, but I will ask them about return policy first. Yes, it doesn't look very translucent, but this fits my budget and I like the colors. we shall see...

I gave mother in law some jadeite donut earstuds over cny for her wedding anniversary . The donuts were purchased from HK during Xmas .. diamonds were 10 pointers from small items of rings and pendants I longer wear ... so I had the diamonds removed and set this into 18 WG studs for the mil . I thought it looks pretty neat :)

Happy Birthday Bernie!! Wish u stay pretty, enjoy good health and be blessed with more jades.

Gorgeous figure babe. And your Jade matches your outfits very nicely. I especially love your lavender bangle. So vivid and translucent.

OK, ladies, I'm going to buy this bangle. It has a gold brace, but the quality of the jade is flawless. Seller says it is completely free of any kind of inclusions, exceptionally translucent and a wonderful color gradient. I think someday I might design a very modern and sleek hinge for it because I really think the jade is worth it...I've seen similar quality on jojo for 20k and up. It's vintage too.....

Nice pick!! Which etsy seller is it from?

I don't mean to cast a negative tone but I remember some ladies were previously talking about preowned jade possibly holding onto negative energy from a previous owner. Strange for me to be superstitious being American born, but curious about your ladies' thoughts on it.

Sorry don't mean to put a wind in your sail, clairejune. I think I am just feeling unsettled myself because my husband and I think someone may be entering our apt...things (nothing of value) have disappeared or strange things happened (tub turned on when came home etc). Looking into security measures.

Gorgeous collection of Jade. I'm in love with the diamond Jade bracelet. And that yellow bangle, it's beautiful. What a vivid yellow and that translucence. And the darker green bangle. Omg! :)

Thanks, petals! Again, you could contact Valerie and ask her what moonstones she has for XXXX amount of money, and she would find the best parcel of moonstones to choose from. Just an option. Yeah, I know what you mean about peridot. Only once have I seen a TDF peridot from Afganistan that Valerie set in a ring. It was expensive because the color was so rich and pure. Peridot....when it's good, it's great, when it's not, it's rather blah.

Thanks Clairejune...I will try to contact Valerie in regard with a moonstone jewelry piece.

Hi I bought a few pendants before from rosegem and they came with Chinese cents that can be verified online. Only one of the pendant I brought it to gemologist for a verbal consultation and it's. Grade A . Didn't bothered with the rest because they didn't cost too much.think the items should be grade A and they have refund policy .

Thanks for the well wishes... *shudders* The part about someone coming into your apartment sounds scary ... Change the lock dear? Do u attribute that to something supernatural or ?

Either way be careful , dear!

I'm so sad, they said they sold a lot before the holiday and don't have enough time to update all the sold item.
Hope the carved one will look good ;)

It will look good . I thought the carved florals were really pretty . Yes a few times I picked things to asked only to find out jojo sold them ... And my bangle size is really small so is the selection for smaller size bangles on jojo...

Lavender looks more vivid in shopping Ctr spot light .. It can go paler or slightly more vivid like this ... Anyway lavender is a very photogenic color ... So am I my dear lol... Pictures hides things like a lack of height and being vertically challenged!

Anyways have u return uj bangles ... Are u tempted by new things ?Hope u are not neglectly blotchy now that u have a new lavender :)

Petals12 hi thanks for your kind wishes. I have decide to get the Yukon after seeing how amazingly gorgeous it is on u and clairejune... Hopefully mine turns out beautiful like those who bought from Allan too. :)
